How To Take Your Dog Through A Puppy Potty Training Class

By Amanda Ellis


Buying a pup comes with so many responsibilities. One of the most important ones is taming the animal. Most people fail in this area because they are not patient enough. Dogs need patience and understanding. In case you do not have enough time to train the pup, hire someone to run the puppy potty training class as soon as you purchase the pet. However, it is best to educate the pet on your own as it will be easier for the pet to obey you. These pups are eager to learn, trust and respect thus ensure that you have created a good relationship with them.

Nevertheless, you cannot train the pup without understanding it. Learn about its behavior associated with that particular breed so that it becomes easier to tame them. Research about the unique traits of that breed or any particular behavior that you should know before you start taming your pup. Some breeds have small bladders thus they will need to urinate more often. These are some of the things that you should find out.

While giving potty lessons to your pup, always keep an eye on it. This will help you to notice early signs thus preventing accidents. When dogs need to defecate or urinate, they tend to start barking, sniffing, and circling. In case you see any sudden behavior change, you should respond immediately. Additionally, make a habit of interrupting accidents with specific commands so that the dog learns and understands.

Selecting a defecating spot is very essential. Thus, ensure you have selected a specific place in your compound for the pup to pee and poop. Take it there every time it needs to pee. The area you choose must be somewhat secluded and away from other pets. The dog will have a memory due to the smell of its urine. It will then relate the area to its peeing spot.

Choose a particular command for the pup whenever you take it to pee or poop. The dog will start to recognize that command and associate it with what you want it to do. Always use that command when you want them to defecate to avoid confusion.

Praising and rewarding the pet when it does it right will make it feel appreciated. This will make it want to do the right thing again and again so that it can be praised and rewarded. When praising the dog, use a cheerful or happy voice and reward it after it has used the spot appropriately.

In the event an accident happens inside your house, clean the area as soon as possible. Make sure you use the right cleaners and sprays to annihilate the smell of urine. If you fail to do so, the dog will become used to the smell and start using the area as its toilet. Once it starts doing so, stopping can be so tricky.

Training a dog is not an easy task. These pups need to understand commands and associate them with want they are expected to do. For this reason, it is wise to use specific words or commands every time you want them to pee or poop. This will help them understand these commands.
